could not be accepted. eve will agree" he

plan for the Mayhower which Mr.. Burgess
has made for the ocean voyage of the great

makers, have been sent for and it is prob
able they will be selected to make the new

SENATOR SHERMAN IN TENNESSEE

His Address In Nashville Last Even.
ing-An Immense Audience Listen to
Him.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March Ex-senator
John Sherman spoke to an immense audience
in the legislative chamber tonight Mr.
Sherman said when he accepted the invita-
ton to address the Republicans of Tennessee
he did 30 in the hope that what he might say
might induce the people of Tennessee to join
the Republican party and follow its policy
a policy that will contribute to the whole
country's growth. Mr.. Sherman held that
the constitution was not to be strictly con-
strued like an indictment or a bond
framed by usurer, but literally
and SO as to carry out all the objects of it's
founders. Mr.. Sherman reviewed the
States rights controversy and said the re-
peal of the Missouri compromise had driven
the conservative Democrats and Wings of
the North into the Republican party. He
spoke of Tennessee's part in the late war
and said the Republican party is pledged to
see that every citizen is protected in all his
rights. He took up the tariff. He said the
internal revenue taxes yielding 800, 600, 900
could be easily disposed with without injury
to anyone, but urged that the duties on i'm
ports could not be done away
with or reduced without disaster
to American industry. The Republican party
claims that while levied for revenue these
import duties should be so arranged as to
protect foster and encourage American work
shops and workmen. Mr.. Sherman showed
that the total manufacturers of the United
States have increased under the Republican
policy of protection from 81 800, 600, 900 in
| 1860 to over So, ZOO, 00O, 900. The rest of Mr.
| Shermans speech was devoted to the cur
rency question.

PHILADELPHIA, March PAT is thought
that John Hunter is completely ruined fnan-
cially. Business men who had dealings with
the Hunters are uneasy, fearing that their
names have been used in the same way that
Mr.. Longs has. A thorough investigation
will be necessary to show the extent of James
Hunters misdoings. President Rommel, of
the Mechanics bank, says that in the aggre-
gate his bank has 1000 of Hunters notes
endorsed by Long, but it is impossible to say
what amount is genuine. The Hunters have
had an account with the Mechanics bank for
thirty five years. Mr.. Rommel said he was
greatly astonished to hear of the forgeries.
He had no doubt but that the many friends
of the Hunters would have tieded them over
had they known the firm was in straights for
money. A rough estimate of the condition
of affairs places the Hunters assets at $685.,
600 and the liabilities at S516. 600
